How you can help support people living with cancer in your community
The Macmillan Buddy service is available by telephone or video call, and we are currently recruiting for more volunteers to be able to provide this service for people who need our help.
In 84 locations across the UK, we are looking for volunteers to provide support to people in their local communities.
"I would say to someone thinking about volunteering, just do it…"
Kath is one of our amazing volunteers, and says, ‘I have supported several people through the telephone service and they have lived all over the country. I try to help people make space for themselves, to help them in that moment to get what they need, and hopefully make that person’s week a bit brighter or easier. I would say to someone thinking about volunteering, just do it… It doesn’t matter whether you are experienced or not, there is support there to help you be an amazing support to someone else.’
